Try, discover, enjoy: In 2026, Studentenwerk Leipzig will once again be participating in Veganuary, setting an example for conscious nutrition. New recipes, more plants, lots of flavour. Look forward to an expanded vegan offering and creative promotions in all Mensas and Cafeterias.
In addition to our daily vegan offerings – including purely plant-based lunches, baked goods from our in-house vegan bakery and plant-based drinks at all coffee stations – there will be many highlights in our Mensas and Cafeterias in January:
Mensa am Medizincampus: almost entirely vegan
This month, the Mensa am Medizincampus is cooking almost entirely plant-based meals and offering the largest selection of vegan options. Already recognised as the most vegan-friendly Mensa (PETA, 4 stars), in January it will offer two vegan main courses every day, vegan wok side dishes, exclusively vegan salads and desserts, as well as vegan smoothies and drinks.
There will be a special treat on 8 January in all large Mensas: a vegan Regio-Teller with braised cabbage, seitan mince and mashed potatoes.
Community-Recipe: Udon noodles
We launched a poll on our Instagram-channel: Which favourite vegan dish should be added to the Mensa menu?
During Veganuary, we will be cooking one of them:
Udon noodles with peanut sauce
New dishes: Vegan & delicious
Look forward to these new recipes, among others:
- Pasta e Fagioli
- Mafé – African peanut stew with rice
- Turkish Pasta
- Sweet potato and white cabbage stir-fry with smoked tofu and potato noodles
Vegan classics every day new
At the Mensa am Park, we will be serving a vegan Mensa classic every day during the week of 12 to 16 January.
Veganuary (= vegan + January) is a non-profit organisation and international campaign that encourages people to try a plant-based diet in January (and the rest of the year). Try vegan. This January.
